An unknown liquid compound has a density of 13.534g/L. If a room has the dimensions of 1.14 inches, 9.78 inches, and 9.59 inches, how many grams of the unknown compound can fit inside?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
An unknown liquid compound has a density of 13.534g/L. If a room has the dimensions of 1.14 inches, 9.78 inches, and 9.59 inches, how many grams of the unknown compound can fit inside?
Density of a substance is given by the expression:
Given the dimensions of the room, the volume of room:
(because 1 inch = 2.54 cm)
Thus,
Volume of the room = 1752.118 cm3
Since, we have density in g/L, we must consider the volume in L units.
1 cm3 = 10-3 L
Thus, volume of room = 1752.118 X 10-3 L = 1.752 L
